Whatever else exists beyond the three divisions of time, that also is indeed OM. The past present and future too are all nothing but OM, supreme consciousness. OM is eternal existence, consciousness and bliss and this entire phenomenal universe including our body, mind, senses and the outer sense-perceived universe, is its manifestation, extension and expansion. Verse 1 of the Mandukya Upanishad, translation by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, says, The Mandukya Upanishad focuses on elucidating the topic OM (or AUM) and the three states of, waking, dreaming and deep sleep, as well as, discussing what is referred to as Turīya, the fourth. This Upanishad is associated with the Atharva Veda and is also considered fifth among the canon of the 108 principle Upanishads. The Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest Upanishad consisting of just 12 verses.
